1 John 3:10, 16, 20, 22-24

So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.

And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
